New Hampshire Optometric Association Member Resources

The AOA-PAC and NHOA-PAC are great ways to make our collective voices heard on issues of importance to our great profession. While many members contribute through the automatic dues checkoff, more (and larger) contributions are always welcome and needed!

CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

If you have a  TPA license, you are required to complete 50 hours of CE per year.  Of those 50 hours, 20 must be Category 1 and the rest can be Category 2.  Of the 20 Category 1 hours, up to 8 can be alternative (online) CE.

If you have a  TPA/g license, there is an  additional requirement that 10 hours per year of your CE be glaucoma-related.  Of these 10 hours, 8 must be Category 1 or alternative CE and 2 can be Category 2.

If you have a  DEA number, you must, in addition to the above requirements, complete a 3-hour online opioid/pain management seminar.  This must be done every two years, and is reported to the Board when you apply for your license renewal (the even years.)

If you have any questions, please contact the Board of Registration in Optometry at 603-271-2152.

NOTE: CE Credits do not need to be COPE approved in New Hampshire
